INSTALLATION
This equipment must be installed in accordance with all local and national
codes and regulations.
PIPE INSTALLATION
The pipe layout is designed using the PipeIQ software package. Refer to the
Application Guide and User Guides to design the pipe network. All pipe must
be installed in accordance with local and national codes and regulations. The
pipe network should be complete before proceeding with the physical and
electrical system installation.
To maintain compliance with EN54-20, all pipes and accessories used with
FAAST XT must comply to clause 5.7 of EN54-20:2006.
PHYSICAL UNIT INSTALLATION
WARNING
Make sure that there are no pipes or electrical wires within the wall before
drilling any mounting holes.
SECURING THE MOUNTING BRACKET
The typical mounting location for the FAAST unit is on the wall. The unit is
mounted to the wall using the enclosed mounting bracket. Figure 1 shows the
wall mounting bracket. For easier access to the FAAST unit, it is preferred to
position the mounting bracket in an easily accessible location.
1. Place the mounting bracket on the wall in the desired location and use it
as a template to locate the necessary mounting holes.
2. Mark the hole locations and remove the bracket. It is recommended to
secure the bracket using the 4 outer mounting holes.
3. Using a drill and the proper size bit for your mounting hardware, drill the
necessary holes.
4. Use appropriate fasteners to accommodate the mounting surface and
FAAST device weight.
5. Secure the bracket to the wall.

MOUNTING THE DETECTOR TO THE BRACKET
Once the mounting plate is attached, the unit is ready to be mounted on to the
plate. Perform the following procedure to mount the unit.
1. Before installing the unit onto the bracket, remove the appropriate con-
duit caps from the top or bottom left side of the unit to match the orien-
tation of the wiring. See Figure for location of the wiring access plugs.
2. Line up the unit with the four mounting clips and the mounting studs on
the left side.
3. Push the unit down onto the mounting clips and secure it with the sup-
plied washer and nut on at least one of the two mounting studs protrud-
ing through the mounting slots shown in Figure 2.

CONNECTING THE AIR SAMPLING PIPE
ATTENTION
Detailed pipe network information and best practices can be found in the Pipe
Installation Guide, available for download at systemsensor.com/faast
The input and output ports are designed to accept nominal 25 mm. The input
and output ports are tapered to provide fast, easy, push-fit connection of the
sampling pipe to the unit. Perform the following procedure to connect the air
sampling pipe to the unit.
1. Square off and de-burr the end of the sampling pipe. Ensure that the pipe
is free from any particles that might interfere with the pipe connection.
2. Remove the input plug from the input port being used (either the top or
bottom of the unit).
3. Inset the air sampling pipe into the port, ensuring a snug fit. DO NOT
glue these pipes.
EXHAUST PIPE
The device must always be exhausted in to the space that it is monitoring.
There are some circumstances where it may be necessary to connect a pipe to
the exhaust port to divert the exhaust away from the location of the unit. Add-
ing as little as 1 m of exhaust pipe also acts as a muffler for the fan – ensuring
quieter operation. The output ports are tapered the same as the input ports, to
provide fast, easy, push-fit connection of an exhaust pipe to the unit. Perform
the following procedure to connect the exhaust pipe to the unit.
1. Square off and de-burr the end of the sampling pipe. Ensure that the pipe
is free from any particles that might interfere with the pipe connection.
2. Remove the input plug from the input port being used (either the top or
bottom of the unit).
3.
Insert the air sampling pipe into the port, ensuring a snug fit.
DO NOT glue these pipes.
